So Katy has a #Jinhao10 and today the clicker seems to be jamming. When pressed, it seems to resist extending or retracting the nib. I'm giving it a cleaning right now to make sure there was no debris or anything in there stopping it from working, but I don't know if that'll fix it.
Has anyone experienced this before? Is there a fix?

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • •So a good cleaning seems to have done the trick. My guess is that some small piece of debris got in the mechanism somehow.
I mean, this is the sort of thing that you expect of a $12 dupe of a $300 pen, I guess.

in reply to Jonathan Lamothe • • •Is the trap door opening/closing properly? It could be wedged somehow. You should be able to poke the nib unit through it manually with the top removed and see if it works as expected.
Also when it's apart you can press the rear of the nib unit up into the tail and press the button and see if it operates normally that way.
Then you at least know which end of the pen is misbehaving.
